De Ysbreeker was established in 1702. Throughout it's existence it has represented a multitude of things; relaxation and amusement as an inn and pub in it's infancy, an instrumental billiards cafe, and a meeting place for everyone who had suffered during World War II.

This rich history gives it an immense depth and a certain undecipherable beauty. Currently, it functions as a cafe and restaurant, where playing board games is encouraged.
